Dell Adamo Graphics Card?

Hi

I am purchasing the original Adamo (not the XPS) with the following specs.

(Pearl) Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor Lv SL9600 (2.13GHz, 6MB, 1066MHz)
UK - Irish Internal Keyboard (QWERTY) - Pearl
45W Adamo (Pearl) Power supply with UK power cord
4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR3
Intel 5300 wireless card, 802.11 a/g/n
1.3 Mega Pixel Integrated Camera
13.4" (16:9) 720p WLED Display
Dell Bluetooth 370 Card

What is the graphics card?

And can you do some light gaming on the lowest settings?

 

If has Intel® GS45 Integrated Graphics with 256MB Memory.
BTW Post these queries on general Dell forum and not the section of XPS and Studio XPS.

 

Gaming wise, I wouldn't expect much out of it.

The best I've seen with my own eyes on the Intel Card is Modern Warfare 2 on low settings. Playable, if barely.

 

What its like for Video Playback?

In the UK I can stream tv via the iplayer.

I currently have a 17 inch with t7300 and nvidia 8600 256mb card. It does take real power to watch HD content on that machine.

is the hd video lagfree on the adamo. And how does the cpu farewell when required to do a little multasking?

By multitsing I mean converting a video to PSP format and watching a video at the same time.

 

I'm not really sure the Adamo should be your primary machine in this case. I don't know of any really portable machine that does video encoding and playback simultaneously (very well at least). Given the 128/256gb drive limitation I don't think it's a great choice for media conversion since it takes up a lot of space.

I usually queue up my handbrake on my quadcore desktop from my Adamo and then go enjoy some Hulu or other media streaming when I'm not sitting at my desk at home. The machine is really for taking to work and class and an all around carry about w/ reasonable battery, performance, and nice industrial design. I haven't really benchmarked it doing HD video but I have run Word/Powerpoint/Excel, Corel Draw, and a grossly overweight Web conferencing software simultaneously and it did just fine minus IE crashing the first time. It similarly crashed on my quadcore w/ 8GB RAM so I suspect it to be a coding error.

If you need serious processing power, you may want to look elsewhere. I cancelled an order for a i7 powered T410 b/c I realized even w/ all that power it'd still be slower than my OC'd Q6600 w/ RAID and 3TB drive space.

 

Hi its not going to be my primary machine.I will use it for word and internet. Since browsing the internet means also watching youtube/iplayer then sometimes I do download from youtube and convert to PSP. Its not going to be used for anything major like video editing or ripping dvds via usb drive.

I just hope that I can watch iplayer or download iplayer videos without any prob and also converting short videos without the cpu breaking sweat.

 

Video playback is pretty good.

I have no problems with 720p and 1080p videos in WMA and other supported formats.

 

can this card support games like Red Alert 3 im primary gonna use this for internet email etc...but would not mind runnin Red Alert 3 while on the move...
